An "intimacy kit?" What do you suppose was in there? I scanned the box for clues. The front offered nothing but a reminder that this box was for "SINNERS."

The back, however, spelled out all the ingredients in a TMI level of detail: "Convenient silk pouch. 2 premium condoms. Personal lubricant. Vibrator."

I'm no expert in vibrators, but I was surprised to learn that one could fit in that little box. Anyway, still startled, I put the box back in its appointed tray in the mini-bar. And that's when I noticed that little sign off to the right (see arrow).

The sign said "SENSORS." It explained that every item in the mini-bar was equipped with a special electronic sensor. It further explained that, if I picked up any item and examined it for more than 60 seconds, housekeeping and the front desk would be alerted and I would be charged for the item. Also, presumably, my hotel bill would feature a special line item charge reading, "intimacy kit." Had I held the "intimacy kit" for more than 60 seconds? I wasn't sure. But I decided it was time to head downstairs to explain myself to the front desk and make sure my bill was family-and-work-friendly.
